Bondi Mind Counselling is a local counselling service that has been primarily set up to service the local community.

Bondi is a unique suburb of Sydney that caters to a wide variety of people from many different cultures, and with a constantly changing, transient population.   Whilst it has a great active local community, there are many that move into the area with no family support or local friendship groups.  Bondi Mind can provide support when needed in an easily accessible location.

There is something about living in Bondi, on the coast, that encourages reflection, mindfulness and spiritual connection to the ocean.  Bondi Mind reflects these values in its location and therapeutic style.

Jacinta Franich

Jacinta is a counselling practitioner who is passionate about the management of anxiety through the use of therapy, particularly mindfulness and self compassion, in order to promote wellbeing and in turn prevent depression and anxiety disorders.

Through working in the mental health field, Jacinta believes in the power of compassion therapy and mindfulness to help people manage anxiety.  It is through being kind to ourselves and being able to focus on the present, and what we can control, that we can begin to heal and feel less stuck due to anxiety.

Through self compassion and mindfulness, Jacinta believes that we can gain more insight and therefore learn new life skills and become more self aware.  Self awareness is the key to meeting our own emotional, spiritual, mental and physical needs in order to be happy and satisfied.  Through exploration in a counselling setting you can begin this process of becoming more self aware and making changes that are rewarding.
